Hyperbolic Metamaterials with Bragg Polaritons
arXiv:1409.3009 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.237402
Abstract
We propose a novel mechanism for designing quantum hyperbolic metamaterials with use of semi-conductor Bragg mirrors containing periodically arrangedquantum wells. The hyperbolic dispersion of exciton-polariton modes is realized near the top of the first allowed photonic miniband in such structure which leads to formation of exciton-polariton X-waves. Exciton-light coupling provides a resonant non-linearity which leads to non-trivial topologic solutions. We predict formation of low amplitude spatially localized oscillatory structures: oscillons described by kink shaped solutions of the effective Ginzburg-Landau-Higgs equation. The oscillons have direct analogies in the gravita-tional theory. We discuss implementation of exciton-polariton Higgs fields for the Schrodinger cat state generation.
